New Device - Slider with Curved display, coming 2015!
- I'm not sure you're right about the battery tradeoff. I would think you'd actually have considerably more space for a batter.
I really want a new all-touch or maybe updated PassPort, but I'll reserve judgement on the slider for now.
People do need to stop saying that all-touch people could just leave it closed. There are a few reasons that isn't the answer:
2. Battery tradeoff. No matter how big the battery is, it could have been bigger if there was no slide or keyboard.

LBS- low blood sugar. Mistakes happen when you're hungry. Should have had a Snickers.

This would only be for top of the line flagship devices like the Passport, not a low end device like the Leap. As for battery life, very few other phones have as big of batteries in them then the Passport. Fine tuning the OS to work better with the hardware specs can help to curb increased battery consumption, and of course just putting in a larger battery.
Mobile devices are not like a desktop where you can readily up specs with little drawback, with mobile devices you have to strike the right balance of cost, performance, weight and power consumption among other factors.Blacklatino likes this.03-06-15 01:24 AMLike 1 - This is the crucial thing, if they can produce a device with competitive battery life while only adding a couple of mm of thickness then it could still be a suitable all-touch for most who want that with the added bonus of a PKB if they so decided.03-06-15 01:29 AMLike 0

- I'd gladly take more thickness for this device.
When I had a Dell Venue Pro, its major drawback was battery life, so I bought a huge replacement battery that turned not to add any additional capacity because the OS couldn't tell the difference.
It came with a different back cover though, because the battery was so thick.
Honestly, after about a day I didn't notice the difference.
Thin phones make me worry that they're liable to bend. I'd hope this phone would have the following, and would gladly sacrifice some weight and thickness to have them:
* Solid build - No bending concerns or loose slider mechanism
* Good battery life
* No overheating issues
* Good camera
* Good sound
* Good screen
* Solid keyboard - A keyboard that's worthy of the BlackBerry name with respect to feel and performance.

If all users that want all touch leave, BlackBerry will sell potatoes by the end of the month

Posted via CB1003-09-15 08:54 AMLike 0 - I am so confused right now...how can the "Leap" be the Slider and not be, really not understanding where the mistake is at MWC.
So the technicality would be that Ron Louks screwed up the whole segment and misrepresented the Slider as the Leap?
I can clearly see the differences in the video of the two phones, I can see that the Slider has a thin shell-like holder for which the base will slide out from and that the other device that does have a curved-edge is the one everyone is referring to as "the Leap". O_O Yet somehow they both look similar from the sides and top but different from the back.

I'm also pretty sure that they said it isn't a Passport that's being developed, though I could be wrong :\
Praise be unto our Lord Squircle | Passport SQW100-1/10.3.1.207203-09-15 09:27 AMLike 0 - Hope it comes with a energy recovery system consuming the open and close slide momentum
What I am really curious about is the "different usage" and mechanical innovation in there...eyesopen1111 likes this.03-10-15 08:20 AMLike 1 - I really don't see that slider succeed unfortunately. It's a concept that has never been successful so why should that suddenly change a time like this? BlackBerry is a nice player but they're starting to produce out of scope.
There are a few fans here who will be very very happy with the new device but that's about it I guess.
Take a look at the Passport. This is real innovation and it was quite successful, measured by expectations, but it's still nowhere near what would be considered a success by market figures.Last edited by SunshineStateFlyer; 03-12-15 at 05:21 PM.

The reason the Passport hasn't done as well as it should have is because the consumer market for anything is slow to adopt change. If the Slider can [i]rekindle[/] the memories and greatness that was once the Torch, the consumers already will remember how great it was and will expect something similar, so won't be too too slow to adopt.
But hey, the consumer market is a funny thing

Classics is totally underspeced and overprice with its 2012 hardware.[/QUOTE]
Mr Chen didn't design the phone for the average Joe, he probably designed for the market that BlackBerry is dominant, corporate users and government bodies. Enterprise user doesn't need the latest specs, he needs a device that suits his needs, yet perform apps, has camera in build and yes, he can over price because this market have no choice. There's a need for keyboards, and no one can offer.
These kind of devices never sold as the are a bad compromise. Too heavy and thick compared to full touch devices and a worse keyboard than Bold-like devices.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps you should be writing a letter to the CEO? He even could call you to make part of the input design team, or marketing manager?
